Moated site at Yen Hall Farm is a medieval defensive and residential enclosure located in Cambridgeshire. The monument comprises a water-filled or formerly water-filled ditch surrounding a central platform, a characteristic form of aristocratic or manorial settlement in medieval England. Dating to the medieval period, such moated sites typically functioned as the residential cores of small estates and represent a common pattern of land-holding and settlement organisation between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries. The earthwork survives as an archaeological monument demonstrating the layout and scale of medieval domestic occupation in the region.
